AREAS OF EXPERTISE

ABOUT PATRICK CHESNUT

An experienced writer, facilitator, and big-picture thinker, Pat works with nonprofit organizations throughout the country to clarify their visions—and to shape the ideas and messages that help advance them.

Since 2010, Pat has worked with over 100 clients across the nonprofit sector, bringing his enthusiasm, creative mindset, and commitment to flexible, genuine partnership to each engagement. Above all else, he enjoys the opportunity to engage deeply with two aspects that make every nonprofit organization unique: its mission and its people.

Pat graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude from Harvard University, where he studied American History and Literature and was a member of the prestigious Signet Society for arts and letters. While there, he also crafted both journalism and cultural criticism as Arts Chair of The Harvard Crimson and wrote original plays for local children's hospitals.

When not at Campbell & Company, Pat can be found reading and writing, exploring his hometown of Chicago, volunteering for civic causes, and obsessing over his beloved Cubs.
